Jim Dancy was an American patriot and War Veteran. He served our nation, state and beloved North Little Rock. That is an accurate description of Mr. Dancy, but there is more. He was first and foremost a Christian. He served God. He loved to serve others and did. He loved his family. He loved his church. Always a hard worker, he trained many young men to be fire fighters. He had a great sense of humor, and He would always have something funny to say. He was loved. He was my friend since before I can remember. Precious family. A true American. He will be missed.

I really cannot remember when I first met Jim Dancy, probably around 1979. We ended up connecting in life through varied associations. Whether we were working professionally or fraternally, he was the same, an honest and good man. I have been proud to call him my friend and brother. He will be missed by many.
May God keep his family and loved ones uplifted during this time and through the coming months, may He fill your minds with pleasant memories and comfort your souls with his promise of eternal life. Well done, Jim, and welcome to your great reward.
